It is a mile walk from East Brighton Pier to the Marina where you will find shops, restaurants and bars. There is also a huge Asda there. The walk is along the coastline so you can see the sea, watch the Volks Electric Railway in action, or you can walk along the top road which also has great views.

This Parish Church is simply STUNNING! The building is open from 10 am weekdays with a close for lunch. The building, commissioned by a local Cleric in the mid 19th Century is absolutely UNIQUE and breathtaking. The Liturgy on Sunday at Solemn High Mass is beautiful and , coupled with music by Viennese composers from a very capable choir and organist has to be heard, the acoustic is SIMPLY BREATHTAKING! The Church , I am told, is the ONLY Parish Church in EUROPE to sing a full LATIN MASS EVERY WEEK! If you’re a fan of Anglo Catholic Mass at its very best then please take the time to visit or attend High Mass on Sunday at 11.00!
9. The Lanes

This area is home to an eclectic mix of shops and restaurants.
Reviewed By Good_Partner - Sydney, Australia
Unlike walking through the high streets for window shopping, this area provides visitors more fun as shops are close and lanes are narrow only one person can pass through at a time in many occasions, so the excitement is high. It's not a small maze to most unless you are familiar with each lane and corner by identifying the shops and benchmarks. Without visiting The Lanes, your trip to Brighton is not complete.
